Can I Use Counteract Tire Balancing Beads With My RV Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Question

Question:

Hi I have a Coachman Apex travel trailer with 20575R14 tires. I have a TPMS system that has monitoring sensors in place of valve stem caps. Can I use the tire balancing beads system with this type of TPMS? Thanks.
